Dressings are fluid handling systemsAs the dressing absorbs exudate, the hydropolymer central island swells and fills any irregular contours of the wound, minimizing exudate build-up and chance of macerationExcess moisture is held in the wicking layer next to the polyurethane backingVapor-permeable backing allows excess moisture to evaporate through the back of the dressingAs the exudate evaporates, the dressing is able to manage additional exudateThis process occurs continuously throughout the wear time2-3/4" x 3-1/2"10/bx
